Maintenance

Qualified personnel must carry out all maintenance work on the appliance.
Before commencing work on the appliance the electricity and water supplies must be isolated.
When replacing parts use only parts recommended by the manufacturer.
De-scale the appliance regularly. Severe scale deposits may block the drain valve. Prodding
through the tank-connector may puncture the drain hose.
Trouble-shooting
Fault
Will not fill
Continuous boil
Will not heat
Overflow
In the unlikely event of thermostat failure noticeable steam emissions will be observed from the
base of the appliance in the vicinity of the spillage tray. In such event the appliance should be
isolated from the main electrical and water supplies. A service engineer should be then contacted
to facilitate repair.
